Capitalizing document names

English Language & Usage Asked by jjThomson on December 9, 2020

Does anyone know if I need to capitalize document names in this sentence?

Created and maintained comprehensive project documentation; Business Case, Project Charter, and Project Plans.

In other words, does Business Case, Project Charter and Project Plans need to be capitalized.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

One Answer

You capitalize something when it is a proper noun, i.e. when it identifies a specific thing.

So if you are writing a document that lays out a specific business case (say the one for your company) and its title is "Business Case" then you capitalize it.

"I wrote the document called "Business Case."

If you want to describe that you are writing a document of a particular kind, such as one that is of the kind "business case" then you don't capitalize it.

"I wrote the business case document for our company. It was called 'Acme Inc. Business Case 2016.'"
